Research Interests

My primary interest is Quantum Gravity. I am currently working on a new theory of gravity called Shape Dynamics, which differs from Einstein's General Relativity in trading the relativity of simultaneity for the relativity of scale (three-dimensional conformal invariance). This theory promises to give a fresh perspective on the Problem of Time, on the origin of the Universe, and on the quantization of gravity.

I supervised a few students for Master's theses and Summer projects.Email me here if you're interested in a thesis in Shape Dynamics.

I'm also interested in outreach and popular science. here's a short documentary I did with Julian Barbour.
